I review a Ford F150 with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 Twin turbo charged engine and discuss the TOP 5 Issues with this 2.7L ecoboost engine. I explained why these issues happen and what ford has done to resolve these issues. I discuss ways to potentially avoid these engine problems and give my Opinion on what I don't like about this ecoboost engine.

Issues #1
Intake valve failure is probably the scariest issues with these engines. the valve can fracture due to poor machining processes and cause complete engine failure. this is on the 2021 and 2022 f150's with the 2.7L ecoboost engines. In oct 2021 ford updated the alloy metal used for their intake valve and this has solved the problem.
Issues#2
Oil pan gasket leaking is probably the most common issue with these 2.7L ecoboost engines. by far the most searched issues on google and it stems from ford using a plastic oil pan. luckilu in 2018 for updated the design and the newer engines do not suffer from oil leaks at the oil pan gasket.
Issue #3
Valve guide leaking oil and causing engine to burn oil. this issues was contained for the 2016 and 2017 trucks. for released a TSB and if you truck is burning oil ford should cover the cost of repair
Issues #4
Timing chain rattle is another issue with the first gen 2.7L ecoboost engine. this occurs when the timing chain tensioner gets weak and caused the timing chain to get sloppy and you hear a rattle. this should be fixed because timing chain failure can cause large amounts of damage.
Issue #5
Carbon build on intake and intake valves due to direct injection. this usually happen over years of use and driving but can eventually causes issues by restricting air flow into the engine.
another thing I mentioned was oil dilution with these engines. my recommendation would be change you oil every 5K miles to avoid any major dilution issues.
